Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 275 Han Dingxiang
Chapter 275: Chapter 275 Han Dingxiang
The woman was breathtakingly beautiful with skin white as jade, resembling the cold radiance under the bright moon, her entire being exuded a cool and aloof temperament.
Dressed in white silk pajamas, the soft fabric clung tightly to her skin, accentuating her perfectly graceful figure.
Her waist was slender and delicate, her hips round and full, exuding an alluring charm.
Her face was gentle with a touch of plumpness, which instantly added a hint of softness to her otherwise cold demeanor, making her seem not so unapproachable.
Beneath her long eyelashes were a pair of pupils as beautiful as stars, yet now, they seemed trapped in a vortex of sadness.
In her hand, she clutched a silver ring, now tightening her grip, now relaxing it, now holding it up to look at it, letting out a silent sigh.
Those sorrowful eyes became even more sorrowful.
Beside her, a lilac plant seemed to sense her sadness, and its head drooped in desolation.
"Miss, Miss..."
At that moment, a small and hurried figure rushed into the room.
"How many times have I said not to disturb me when I’m alone?" The woman’s red lips lightly parted, although reprimanding, there was no hint of reproach in her voice.
Instead, sadness took a greater hold.
"I’m sorry, Miss." The maid lowered her head fearfully.
"Speak, what is it?"
The maid regained her spirit, "Miss, Young Master Xiao Yu has returned!"
"What!"
Ding-dong.
A crisp sound.
The ring fell to the ground.
Han Dingxiang hurriedly picked up the ring, walked up to the maid, her emotions in her eyes suddenly became turbulent, "What did you say?"
"Miss, Young Master Xiao Yu has returned," the maid repeated.
Upon hearing this confirmation, Han Dingxiang felt as if she had been electrified, trembling uncontrollably.
The surge of emotions in her eyes instantly overflowed like the waters of the Yellow River, and she excitedly grabbed the maid’s shoulders, "Xiao Cui, are you sure you’re not mistaken, say it again?"
"Miss, you’re hurting me."
The maid frowned in pain.
But she did not dare to delay further and hurriedly said, "Miss, Young Master Xiao Yu has returned, the news comes directly from the Xiao Family Head, he returned this afternoon."
Once the confirmation was repeated, Han Dingxiang could no longer control the Yellow River in her eyes, and tears cascaded down from the corners, quickly forming two long rivulets on her pure white face.
"He’s still alive, he really is still alive..." ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Sobs of grief echoed ceaselessly in the room.
The already drooping lilac flower, as if sensing her emotional outpouring, bowed its head even deeper, and its leaves began to wither.
"Miss..."
Xiao Cui suddenly made a somewhat uncomfortable sound, her complexion inexplicably turned pale.
Han Dingxiang’s crying faltered slightly, "You may leave."
After speaking, she burst into tears once again.
Xiao Cui walked out and closed the room door tightly.
Stepping out of the room, her complexion gradually improved, and hearing the even louder crying from inside, she shook her head.
She went to the window where the potted lilac stood, took it in her arms, gently caressed the wilted plant, and sighed, "You really are pitiful."
Then she left the place.
Just as she stepped out of the courtyard, she suddenly encountered a middle-aged man.
Seeing him, Xiao Cui immediately bowed, "Family Head."
The man nodded, noticing the dried lilacs in Xiao Cui’s hand, his expression shifted slightly, "Has Xiang’er been crying again?"
"Yes, she’s been crying very sadly."
"Ah, just let her cry. It might as well be the last time. After tonight, she probably won’t cry again," the man sighed.
But it was a breath of relief.
Afterward, he didn’t go any further and turned to leave the courtyard.
...
The next day.
In that cozy room, a pot of living lilacs was placed back on the windowsill.
"Xiao Cui, which dress do you think looks better on me?"
Han Dingxiang picked up a white lace floral dress and held it up in front of her, showing a satisfied expression. But the satisfaction didn’t last long before it turned into dissatisfaction with a shake of her head.
"You look heavenly, Miss. Even if you wore nothing at all, you’d still look gorgeous."
"You’re asking for it! Speaking such shameless things as a maiden!"
Han Dingxiang picked up a hair accessory from nearby and knocked it on Xiao Cui’s head. This girl’s speech was becoming more and more shameless.
Xiao Cui didn’t feel any pain at all but stuck out her tongue instead, "Miss, you know Xiao Yu likes white, but you’ve been picking and choosing, and you’ve picked a dozen white dresses by now. There’s really no difference."
"How can there be no difference?"
Han Dingxiang picked up the white dress she had tried on earlier and said, "Look at this one; it has lace and floral trim. Xiao Yu really likes this kind of lace style, and the others have less lace, which Xiao Yu doesn’t like."
"Then wear this one."
"No, although this one has more lace, it doesn’t have lilac embellishments, and Xiao Yu really likes lilacs."
"Then change to this one." Xiao Cui picked up a white dress embellished with lilacs and handed it to her.
Han Dingxiang immediately shook her head, "This won’t do. There are too many lilac flowers; it would steal my thunder, and Xiao Yu would only be looking at the flowers and not at me."
"Then this one, it has both lace and lilac flowers. And the lilacs are not too many; it will let your charm outshine others." Xiao Cui picked up another dress and handed it to her.
Han Dingxiang did like this dress but only for two seconds before shaking her head again.
"What’s wrong with this one?" Xiao Cui was somewhat speechless.
"This one is a bit short; it shows my knees. Xiao Yu won’t be happy if he sees me in this."
"Miss, what era are we in? It’s fine that you like Xiao Yu, but you can’t make him the center of your world. You think of him in all things, trying to please him in everything, but you also have to please yourself. And this dress isn’t revealing; it just shows the knees..."
Before Xiao Cui could finish her sentence, she suddenly felt the atmosphere in the room change.
Looking at Han Dingxiang, true enough her smiling face had vanished, and at the same time, a suppressive aura was emanating from her.
Xiao Cui’s relaxed expression immediately tightened, she realized she had misspoken.
"Miss, I’m sorry, I spoke out of turn."
"Slap your face." Han Dingxiang’s words were soft, but they carried an utter resolve.
Xiao Cui knew exactly what Han Dingxiang’s temper was like. She didn’t dare hesitate and immediately slapped her own face.
Slap, slap!
The sound was very loud, a slap caused Xiao Cui’s face to turn red at a visible speed.
Slap, slap!
Following two more slaps, blood started overflowing from Xiao Cui’s mouth corners, as her face instantly swelled.
Having the power of a First Grade Artifact Spirit, even without exerting Spirit Manipulation Energy, hitting oneself in the face still felt quite painful.
But she dared not stop, as the Miss had not yet said to stop.
